The Dropshot

Tanner and I unleash the fire hydrant of questions we received from the Discord and tackle an array of different subject matter regarding Call of Duty in both multiplayer and in Warzone. We talk about the tyranny of Activision, toxic players in the battle royale, K/D versus W/L, and much more. There are also plenty of detours along the way, and the possibility of a rather explicit limerick… The po...

Tanner and I go through quite a few changes in episode 30 that came about after the most recent patch 1.21. We talk about the playlist updates, the new vaults that are now acessible in Warzone, the calling card reward added for winning a Warzone match, and more. We also have some news on CoD 2020 about which we speculate, and some changes to the Warzone map and what they could mean. The podcast is...

This episode was a deep-dive into camping in Call of Duty: what it is, why it's bad for everyone, and how it can be fixed in future titles. Tanner and I compare Black Ops 4 to Modern Warfare, and through this analysis, pinpoint why camping is so much more common in MW than it was in BO4. I also get baited into defending myself from a baseless allegation from Tanner... The podcast is streamed live...

More hidden changes! Huzzah! Tanner and I begin this episode by gloating about our completely accurate prediction that IW would require free-to-play accounts to link an SMS number to play Warzone, and discuss the implications of that. We also go over the .357 nerf, the hidden changes found by XclusiveAce, the MW3 map Hardhat's inevitable return, and more! The podcast is streamed live on Twitch eve...

This was the absolute craziest, most supportive stream Tanner and I have ever done. In this episode, Tanner and I answer some more questions we got from the Discord, as well as go over the new playlist update. We lament the return of Shipment 10 v. 10, speculate more on what's inside the Warzone bunkers, provide an insider leak, and more. Special thanks to everyone who watched live; we got a ton o...

After Activision Blizzard's shareholder meeting, Tanner and I go over all of the revelations that were made there. First, we go through the recent patch notes and, of course, the hidden changes that came with it. We also speculate on when Duos will release for Warzone, glean what the massive financial success of Warzone implies for future CoD titles, list off leaked play modes, and more. The podca...

Episode 25 focuses on making predictions about CoD 2020 - things that we're likely to see, and things that we hope to see. We cover things like the return of operators, the Pick-10 create-a-class system, scorestreaks vs. killstreaks, callable nukes, and much more. We've also got some new channels set up in the Discord, and Tanner's stream is absolutely thriving. Check below for his Twitch channel,...

Patch 1.20 brings a lot for us to talk about on Episode 24. We go over the patch notes and what they bring, including some much needed quality of life adjustments, as well as the ultimate travesty that it is. We weigh in on the new Obsidian camo, the new "Most Wanted" contract type, and more. Tanner and I also go over the announcement that akimbo snakeshot and the RPG will soon be nerfed, we lamen...

Episode 23 is a weird one! Tanner and I do another Q&A stream and answer a few questions: is "quick-scoping" gone? Why use the tactical suppressor over the monolithic? Night-vision Warzone mode, yes or no? All these, and more, are answered. We also get a bit off-track toward the end of the pod and get a little political! So if that's not your cup of tea, well, hey, close the app! So keep that in m...

Welcome to the rumor mill! Tanner and I go through the very few patches and playlist updates that released in the past week, then cover quite a few news items. "Fortnite-like events," Call of Duty 2020: Vietnam, MW2 multiplayer remastered, and more are discussed. We also talk about the spectacularly stupid decision by Infinity Ward to "match suspected cheaters together." The podcast is streamed li...

Episode 21 is a landmark episode in which we try out a bit of a different topic. Here, Tanner and I go through the next-gen console specs, and we explicate why you absolutely should not buy one - and should instead join the great PC master race. The new Dropshot LytSign makes an appearance as well, and the episode is an all around jolly good time. The podcast is streamed live on Twitch every Wedne...

Season 3 brought many changes; some of these were listed in the patch notes, but most of these, of course, were not. Tanner and I go over both the listed and unlisted changes that have come to the game since Season 3's launch and go over a few other prognostications about things to come. I also have a difficult time beliving the CEO of Activision Blizzard gave out his personal cell phone number to...

Rep your favorite podcast: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/the-dropshot/ This was the most loosey-goosey podcast Tanner and I have ever done.

Episode 18 sports a tidal wave of exciting new developments. In addition to combing through the details of Season 3 - patch notes, rumos, all of the new content released, etc. - Tanner makes his first ever announcement on The Dropshot. Tanner is now streaming, and has changed his Twitter and Twitch handles! Tanner needs followers and concurrent viewers on Twitch to reach affiliate, so we would bot...

We go over Xclusive Ace's findings in a video he did on whether or not there is, in fact, Skill Based Match Making (or SBMM) in Warzone. We provide a summary of his video (which you should watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clIdnyiISpU ) and the implications of the results. Why is SBMM bad? Are there any upsides? The episode ends with a disagreement about Grazna Raid between Tanner and I...

In this extremely cleverly named episode, Tanner and I go over the relatively sparse patches, including some playlist updates and double XPs of various kinds, and delve into the announcement (and release) of Modern Warfare 2: Remastered. We take a rather lengthy detour into what made MW2 so great, speculate on whether it would be a fun multiplayer game in this day and age, and more. The podcast is...

Tanner and I imbibe in a few alcoholic beverages, and I get a bit verbose as a result. We go over the latest patch, including some useless patch notes, the addition of Dragon's Breath ammo for the Model 680 (which, to our chagrin, was not in the patch notes), our review of Khandor Hideout, and more. Lots of fun in this one! The podcast is streamed live on Twitch! You can find the link below if you...

Tanner and I wax on about the current state of Modern Warfare multiplayer and speculate about reasons why there's been so little content in the past week. Is COVID-19 the culprit, or is it the popularity of Warzone? In addition, we go over some news and announcements, and lament about the rather sordid future we see in store for the title. The podcast is streamed live on Twitch! You can find the l...

Tanner and I go over Plunder, the relatively new Warzone game type in Modern Warfare. We talk about its pros, cons, and our strategy for winning - which we've done a lot. We also field another call-in from Cobaltick AKA Trent who has a very good question: "what new innovations have Modern Warfare brought to the table that will stay in the franchise for future titles?" The podcast is streamed live...

Tanner and I discuss the rather sparse new patch notes since last week, talk about Warzone's new solo-queue, how we're liking Plunder, and more. We also take our first call-in, and it goes surprisingly well. And, of course, the global pandemic sweeping the globe couldn't even leave Call of Duty untouched - we over that as well. The podcast is streamed live on Twitch! You can find the link below if...

Tanner and I begin a discussion on Warzone, the Call of Duty battle royale, and what its problems are as we see them. We start by giving our pros and cons of the mode, and suggest some ways these issues could be ameliorated. On a tangential note, we end the podcast with a detour into COVID-19 and how its affected our lives. Let's hope Tanner's grandma isn't a listener! The podcast is streamed live...

Tanner and I discuss Warzone, the new Call of Duty battle royale mode, in episode 10. This is a long one! We go over the mode, how it works, its mechanics, as well as some strategies on how to do well. We also take a deep dive into pretty much everything about the mode, and cap off the episode with our opinions, mine and Tanner's disagreement about the gulag respawn system, and how overpowered the...

In episode 9, Tanner and I make our first foray into a more free-flow type of podcast - the topic of which this week is the Damascus camo. We go over tips on expediting the process, how to maximize double-XP weekends, etc., as well as our favorite and least favorite weapons to get gold for. This podcast will be an excellent primer on how to most quickly and easily unlock Damascus, as we leave no s...

In episode 8, Tanner and I discuss the most recent patch including a buff to the AK-47's SMG conversion kit, the disaster that is Boots on the Ground War, the fake news surrounding the Uzi, and more. We've also got another announcement for everyone! Glorious! I stream on Twitch! Tuesday/Thursday 7PM Pacific: Call of Duty gameplay Wednesday 7PM: The Dropshot, a Call of Duty podcast Saturday 7PM: Th...

Huzzah! The podcast will now have 2 episodes a week! In episode 7, we talk about the new edgelord operator Mace, go over patch 1.15, the plethora of hidden changes included in that patch, discuss the best strategy for getting nukes, and more!
